I have signed up with both Shelfari and gurulib just to find out how these tools work.
Shelfari is another social cataloguing website whose members are able to catalog, tag, review and discuss books. Gurulib does the same thing, except for some added features. One can add not only titles of books but also movies, music, games and software. Gurulib has provided links to other social bookmarking tools, such as: Blinklist (http://www.blinklist.com/), Furl (http://www.furl.net/dot), Spurl (http://spurl/net), and RawSugar (http://rawsugar.com/), amongst others. It will take sometime to check these out. But for now, I will settle for Del.icio.us and LibraryThing.

Del.icio.us
I had a look at the account that was created for this exercise and noticed that tags are formatted differently when viewed as a cloud and as a list.
I have set up a delicious account = http://del.icio.us/CarmelMortillero but was not successful in downloading the toolbar icons. I tried twice but didn't go any further because the computer I was using wouldn't do it. I spent much time trying to link my delicious account to my blog as asked in the exercise but it wouldn't work as well. Just for practice, I bookmarked 5 websites and was able to link one to my blog. By link here, I mean that when I click on that website, it directs me to my blog.
Delicious is great for research assistance. It's a wonderful tool for finding websites and online materials in response to users' information needs.
www.asknow.gov.au is a fine example of a website using delicious as a social bookmarking tool.
Easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere? Definitely!
